    It ain't the pitch clock, kids. It's trying to throw 130mph on every pitch.

    Tough break for the Clevelands. In one week, Bieber goes from allowing no runs in two starts to done for the year.

    Ladies and Gentlemen, your 2025 Sacramento AAA's.

    He's pitching a because the Browns want to build a domed stadium by Hopkins Airport in Brook Park. It's all of 15 minutes (if that) from downtown. People like beard dork and local sports radio hacks who need the topic are the only ones who give a single about this "move."

    A friend of mine used to fly to that event every year.

    According to Google, ATL is the busiest airport in the world. Side note: Minneapolis Airport has a Prince store.

    Of the airports you mentioned, the only one I've been to is St. Louis and it was fine. No issues. I've been through Atlanta more times than I can remember and I've never had a problem. Hartfield-Jackson is big and it's busy, but it's very easy to navigate. If you have at least an hour between flights and you shouldn't have a problem. If you have more than an hour there is enough stuff to keep you from getting too bored.

    You wouldn't be able to avoid the airport.

    50-50.

    You didn't hear this from me, but that's exactly what it was. Why do you think he flipped out like he did over the pine tar HR? It was butt-roid rage. Most definitely.

    80s Royals, but same idea.

    Same here.

    Arizona lost the World Series and got the better looking ring.

    It's worth a shot. The bigger question is did Bowie ever perfect telekinesis? He was Bowie so I can't rule it out entirely. Page was never a threat. His attempts to be the next Aleister Crowley were clumsy at best. I'd imagine the witches he hired reflected that.

    Cocaine and steroids.

    Baseball is every bit of its "mystical Americana nature" and "Norman Rockwell-like garbage." It's also all the other things that you'd prefer to talk about. It doesn't have to be one or the other. We don't need to tear it down just because tearing things down is all the rage these days. What entertains you might not entertain someone else. Sometimes we don't get our way and we have to live with being bugged about it.

    It's Halls of Fame, but your point remains.

    I've read Ball Four more times than I can remember, where did Bouton say that greenies added 5mph to his fastball or helped Steve Hovely hit an extra 20 home runs? Cocaine didn't do all to enhance anyone's performance. With all due respect, your argument is ridiculous.

    Thanks for reminding me. I also used tobacco when I played.

    Having used vitamins, amphetamines, and cocaine (as well as a few other illegal substances) when I was playing, I can tell you from experience that those things do not enhance your ability in any appreciable way. Having used steroids when I was playing, I can tell you from experience that they enhance your ability in pretty much every appreciable way. That's the difference.

    Wasn't Angels Stadium renovated not that long ago?

    No argument here, but my point was about steroids. That said, I'm certainly open to a broader discussion on morality.
  24. infrared41
    Of the players you mentioned, only Bonds was in the HOF discussion before he started juicing. Palmeiro, McGwire, and Sosa were created in a lab. So was the second half of Clemens' career. A lot of apologists believe that steroids weren't a big deal and didn't make all that much difference in a player's ability, but I know from personal playing experience how much they help. I was prescribed steroids for about a month when I was still playing in 1996. I had more power at the plate, my reflexes were faster, and I had the same amount of energy in the 9th inning that I had in the 1st inning. The steroids made a big difference. I was just some out of shape guy playing in a local league and the roids I was on weren't even the good stuff. Your boys cheated, their stats benefited a whole lot from their cheating, and now they're paying the price. It is what it is.

    That's the problem with America today. Back in my day, making the Convenience Store Cashier HOF was something we aspired to.
